How To Help Pass Wind And Stimulate Bowel Movements?
Hi,
My husband has had diarrohea for the past 5 days, we took him to emergency yesterday, who suggested busccopan and panadene which he has been taking, but for the past 5 hours he hasn't been able to pass any wind or do any poo, we've called nurse on call who said to see what happens, is there anything he can take to help the wind?
Thanks
